Woops...... Tablesaw

Had a little mishap in the woodshop thurs. night. After an ambulance ride and a trip through the ER I'm happy to say a full recovery is on its way.... 2 fingers and thumb dragged into the blade , unbelievable how lucky I am to have not lost anything, Working exhausted is never really a good idea, I had the wrong tear out plate on the saw which allowed my material to be sucked in, the piece shattered and tossed my hands back out, I'd say all in about 2/10's of a second....... Uploading from my phone where the pics are, I'd add more detail, but I'm typing with one thumb!!!! Can't figure out how to upload pics from my iPhone.....bummer

maybe this'll work.... the second one is not for the faint of heart....

Maybe they should add your pics to that old black & white safety film we had to watch back in junior high wood shop. Sorry it happened, but glad it wasn't any worse... Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hope you have a quick recovery.
